Skill

The design package before the render.

video-skill plans Kurzgesagt-style educational explainer videos and stops exactly where a renderer should take over. It walks you through requirements, a word-for-word narration script you approve, a frame-level storyboard with animation intent and timing, and a visual design spec (palette, typography, SVG components), then reviews the package against its own style guide.

Adapts portions of skindhu/skind-skills' educational-video-creator (MIT). The audio and render steps were removed; this port focuses on script, storyboard, and design.

What you get
  • Five phases: requirements, script, storyboard, visual design, design review, with your approval between each one.
  • Word-for-word script: full narration text, approved before any visual work starts.
  • Frame-level storyboard: scenes with animation intent and timing, ready for Remotion or any renderer.
  • Visual design spec: Kurzgesagt-style palette, typography, and SVG component definitions.
  • Zero runtime dependencies: a pure writing and design skill: no Node, ffmpeg, or TTS required.
How it works

It produces the plan; a renderer produces the pixels.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Topic, audience, duration, key points, pinned down before a word is written.

  2. 02

    Script

    The full narration, word for word. You approve it before anything visual happens.

  3. 03

    Storyboard + design

    Frame-level scenes with timing, plus a palette, type, and SVG component spec.

  4. 04

    Review + hand off

    The package is checked against the style guide, then handed to your Remotion developer or renderer.
